Re: Draft text does not appear on Drawing page

Hi NormandC, thanks for your good attention. I was not aware of it. I investigated the problem, found an impediment in the update process, solved it – and now it works :D . Sorry, I was really too stupid. I should have seen it myself before positing. By the way: I tried the TechDraw module roughly a...
